BGS 587, Albino seedling 3, abo3
Stock number: BGS 587
Locus name: Albino seedling 3
Locus symbol: abo3
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
Albino 2 = a2 (2).
Albino seedling 2 = a2 (3).
Albina seedling-za = alb-za (5).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (1, 2).
Location is unknown.
Description:
Seedlings lack normal pigmentation; they are white and die at a two or three leaf stage (1, 2). The abo3.c gene must be maintained as a heterozygous stock.
Origin of mutant:
A spontaneous mutant in an unknown cultivar (1).
Mutational events:
abo3.c (a2, GSHO 165) in an unknown cultivar (3); alb-za.111 (NGB 14781) in Bonus (NGB 14657, PI 189763) (4, 5, 6).
Mutant used for description and seed stocks:
abo3.c (GSHO 165) in an unknown cultivar; alb-za.111 (NGB 14781) in Bonus.
